[plug] Dialin fails

[Craig Foster]

Usually means

1) User credentials are wrong - check /etc/ppp/* permissions and users
details / password

2) Server isn't using PAP, or forces CHAP first... check...

3) Timeouts between CONNECT and the server being ready for auth info.
Usually fixed by adding, commas, to, the, phone, number, to slow, things,
down. EG: 6265,00,00,

4) Bad phone lines... May also show "7-bit communication" somewhere in
there too...

Regards,

Craig Foster
